I have used this product for 2 years and I have oily skin. At first, I was in love. It controlled my oil, covered my acne, and did reduce my breakouts. I used it with the Clinique foundation brush (highly recommend) and washed it daily with the brush cleaner, which might have been the cause of the improvement in breakouts. I used the foundation also as a concealer on my pimples and it stuck to my pimples much better than other foundations or concealers. I tried the Acne Solutions concealer but it was SO overly drying it was useless - a waste of money. After a few months with the foundation I found that it was so oil controlling that my skin appeared to age and become tighter so that when I smiled I had lots of fine lines. I am 31 and looking back at pictures over the last few years I do feel like I've aged more quickly. When I use it, I never need a powder to control shine. My blush and bronzer settle into my fine lines. I also notice that while I have fewer actual pimples, I have a lot more bumps. Instead of the pus turning into a zit, it will become harder and dried and just stay as a bump without getting red. I'd have to use a pimple tool to remove the hard pus, which I know sounds gross and leads to scarring if not careful, but in sunlight the bumps are visible and still indicative of acne even though you can't see the red. Recently, I tried Clinique's other foundation products to try to alternate in an attempt to get some of the fine lines to go away with a less drying foundation. However, none of them cover the way I need them to and I have gone back to the Acne Solutions for the days in which I really need to look good.

It's good but you could probably find something with a better feeling and less orangish tint

Just make sure you have moisturized before hand, its excellent best make up I have ever bought.

Great coverage for dark spots/acne. Expensive brand but will work with what's best for your skin type/color to get good results.

Worth the money for the great coverage

This foundation has reduced the bumps on my face a bit, it looks natural at the same time as it covers well. I aam 70% sure I would buy it again, the biggest con would be the price in my opinion..but I think it will last for a long time. I use a little bit all over my face, and a bit more as concealer :)

I always go back to this foundation. It keeps my skin in check (along with retina and a good cleanser). Sometimes I search for something better but so far I haven't found it and since I am afraid of breaking out I keep wearing this.

Okay so, I am currently using this and its not bad. I mean it covers up the problems and that's what you want right? Well anyway, I'm very pale and it does give me a little bit of an orange tint. I have been thinking about blending it in with another type of foundation (any brand) that is a little bit lighter and seeing what happens then. I heard that works. OH, and it kinda lasts long. But not too long. After a while it does look flaky.

This was overall an average product for my skin, however it was wayy too pink for my yellow complexion. It's also quite hard to build up as it did tend to get cakey. Also, it oxidizes into a shade darker so you have to buy a shade lighter. The great thing was that it didn't break me out.

I think I'll always advocate for this foundation- It's amazing.

I don't think it directly clears skin, but it definitely doesn't irritate it. Once, my purse got stolen and I lost my bottle of this (I cried) so I had to use a cheap back-up drugstore foundation- and I found that it actually did make my skin worse. So I began to truly appreciate Clinique!

I read an earlier review that this stuff only lasts 3 hours at most...I actually don't agree at all. It lasts me 7am until 9pm, flawlessly. Once, I even wore it to school all day, then to a party at night, then a sleepover, and then a 7-hour work shift the next morning. No touchups. (I don't recommend doing that or anything- just a busy weekend)

I tried wearing it while surfing....the

I own Even Better and Redness Solutions also by Clinique, but they're neglected in my makeup cabinet. I just love Acne Solution's matte finish and full coverage- no shiny-ness whatsoever.

Yeaaah it's expensive, especially in Canada (or anywhere other than the US) but it's SO worth it.
